ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — An avid skier died early Sunday afternoon after an accident at the Sandia Peak Ski Area.
Authorities said that an experienced skier was on an intermediate slope when he crashed into another skier and then ran into a pole supporting a ski lift.
A helicopter was dispatched from University of New Mexico Hospital and landed on top of the mountain, but the EMS crew decided to drive the skier to the hospital. At some point after the skier was transported, the skier passed away.
The U.S. Forest Service was notified, and the ski patrol was conducting an investigation with the Sandia Mountain manager.

David Lee Roth discusses in the Vimeo video “Brown M&Ms” why Van Halen contracts from the 1980’s would require no brown M&M. At the end of the video he specially discusses an incident in New Mexico where the contract was not followed and he was incorrectly attributed to causing nearly a $500,000 in damages to the dressing room.

I wonder if his memory is correct and when and where in New Mexico this took place.

Sandoval County leaders said the only animal control officer was transferred after he was involved in a criminal incident that was still under investigation.

Janie Maders owner of AJ’s Cycles in Phoenix AZ took down a Confederate Flag when the Arizona Republic asked about it, according to the azcentral article “Phoenix business owner takes down Confederate flag“. She only had it up because she thought it was “pretty”. She had other flags up too like one of Puerto Rico. She’s not Racist.

But she said she wouldn’t put up a Mexican flag. “I wouldn’t want illegals of any nationality coming to my store,” she said.
